My Mac mini shows a Red box around the text that I type or highlight,
when I begin typing in pages, or Numbers, a red box surrounds the typing. How do I get rid of it?

BDAqua led me to the "Accessibility settings" there I found: "Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom;" which was turned off, however, "Hover Text" was enabled. When I disabled it the red box around disappeared, which solved the problem. I had previously looked there and noticed "Use keyboard shortcuts" to zoom" was disabled this solved the problem.

Could this be due to you having Full Keyboard Access enabled in Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard?
I have previously disabled Full keyboard access
Seems like some Accessibility feature, but not sure what.:(
Great work my friend, do take care! :)
